We consider the numerical solution of quadratic eigenproblems with spectra that exhibit Hamiltonian symmetry. We propose to solve such problems by applying a Krylov-Schur-type method based on the symplectic Lanczos process to a structured linearization of the quadratic matrix polynomial. In order to compute interior eigenvalues, we propose several shift-and-invert operators with Hamiltonian structure. Our approach is tested for several examples from structural analysis and gyroscopic systems.
